He's one of those almost good looking guys that looks good but as you keep watching him he looks weirder and weirder.

Comments on the content of the video coming in 56 minutes. :P

That's an interesting phenomenon. It also goes the other way. Sometimes I see someone that seems quite plain, but the more I observe them, the more attractive they become.

I find with very conventionally attractive people, more often than not there seems to be a loss of attractiveness over time.

I really do believe that it is better being somewhat above average in comeliness rather than much above average. If you are a knockout, nobody can get their head around it, and it clouds every interaction you make.

Also, as I connect with someone or realize they are really intelligent or interesting I start to find them more attractive. It happens on television sometimes too. I find Colbert insanely attractive because I get so much enjoyment from his character.

Absolutely the same here. My wife went a long way to winning me over when on one of our first casual dates she suggested that we watch a documentary on volcanoes that she had recently picked up.

Maybe we should refer to it as a 'brain crush'?
